5150 smoke free days. That's Five Thousand One Hundred and Fifty smoke free days. Days when I haven't inhaled the crap in cigarettes. And you know what? I don't crave at ALL. I don't think about a cigarette AT ALL. My life is not consumed by the desperate need of this addiction. I'm OVER it. Doesn't mean I'm not going to have a pang, a knock-in- my- face craving ever once in a blue moon. For no reason that I can think of. Because that DOES happen. But - at this stage of the game it's like "Really? Oh yeah. OK. I get it. Been there. Not going back to you. So FORGET ABOUT IT!"
ClearColors - you've got me beat! Happily.

Every day we don't smoke is a day to celebrate. Even if it's not a fun day. Even if we struggle through it. If we make it through, it's another day smoke free. And that's what really matters on this journey. Because - that's our goal, after all, right? To rid ourselves of this nasty addiction. To be able to breathe better. And under this new Coronavirus life we're living under, we especially need to do everything we can to breather better.
It sucks. FACT. The beginning of this process just - sucks. It's hard. And it often takes longer than we think or expect it will. Sorry. That's what's so. This is an addiction. And that's what so. SO, it's best if we just accept that fact and persevere.
You're either in this for the long term or your not. And if you're not - you'll probably return to your addiction. Just saying. MOO (my opinion only).
So buck up. We're making sacrifices in this country every day now. Quitting smoking is a sacrifice too. It's giving up part of the "old you" as you transition to the "new you."
YOU can do this. YOU can change. YOU can not only make a difference in your own life, but by quitting smoking, you're making a difference the lives of those who love and care about you.
Sorry - waxing on. Just needed to.
